Welcome to the complete Minecraft crafting guide. You¡¯ll find every crafting recipe here grouped by

function, from the essentials to the functional to the purely decorative.

Reading each table is easy; the item¡¯s name is shown on the left. The next column shows the ingredients required, including all possible alternatives. You¡¯ll then see the crafting recipe and, finally, a

quick note about the crafted item¡¯s function.

In some cases, the recipes are known as ¡°shapeless,¡± meaning that the recipe ingredients can be

placed in any location on the crafting grid. I¡¯ve indicated these with an asterisk next to the list of

ingredients.

You can create any recipe whose ingredients fit a 2¡Á2 grid in the smaller crafting grid built into the

inventory window. All others require the 3¡Á3 grid provided by a crafting table.

Quite a few of the recipes create variations on an object, depending on the provided ingredients. For

example, you can create a pickaxe from two sticks, and then your choice of three blocks of wood,

stone, iron, gold, or diamond. Instead of repeating that same recipe multiple times, I¡¯ve

simply provided a list of the different ingredient choices.

Minecraft is a constantly evolving work in progress, and at times some recipes disappear

or are simplified, and new ones pop into existence. The tables that follow contain all the

recipes from v1.6.2, as well as a few, mostly relating to color crafting, that have appeared in

early versions of v1.7.

Essential Recipes

The table that follows lists all the recipes you¡¯ll need to get through the first few nights
